    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Olivia's on the chopping block, and has been for a while. She's on the high end of the power level spectrum here, and she feels ban-worthy. Lucas, you had her mowing down troops all day - how do you feel? Was she too good? Flooded Strand and friends are all your fault. Learning from Legacy...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Yeah, we played in a bubble tea shop in an Asian mall. They're one of the few places around here that's amenable to the idea of its patrons bringing in assorted boardgames on weeknights and stuff. None of the LGSs in the area are open late enough to accommodate a three-hour plus cube draft, and...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    In your defence, your hand was always something like Remand, Into the Roil, Cryptic Command, Ultimate Price. So many options! I get paralyzed playing control decks all the time, so now I just stick to attacking with 2/1's. For a while, I forgot that I could even comment on your games, cause I...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Yeah, I'm coming around. I think maybe my Modern cube can handle the simple, rustic charm of ol' Lightning Bolt. Olivia Voldaren does need to be put in her place, after all.

    Sets Seacoast Drake is the Best Card in M14

    Frenzied Goblin was always kinda meh-ish here. I've been trying Intimidator Initiate, and I've been slightly more impressed with him in heavy red decks. Firefist is a good one, though. Gonna have to steal that tech.

    This is how it went. Bryan: Hmmmm. [Shows me one-lander with Halimar Depths and a bunch of four & five drops] Is this ok? Me: THROW THAT BACK Bryan: (Thinking) Ok. Keep.

    How to: Card Images in Threads!

    Oh man, you're totally right. My thirty seconds of testing was clearly insufficient. This is totally gonna bug me until I can get home tomorrow and work on it. EDIT: You can't have formatting within the [ci] tag itself. Edit your post, highlight everything, press the eraser in the top left...

    Dragging and dropping from Gatherer to get card images is for chumps. Do it the new, fashionable way! Be the coolest kid in school! Stinkweed Imp Life from the Loam Raven's Crime Faithless Looting Stinkweed Imp Life from the Loam Raven's Crime Faithless Looting Is this a mull or a keep...

    Vince - I'm not sure I want to get into sub tags at the moment. It's the trade off of power vs ease-of-use. I know that you're a software programmer by trade, so extra tags and markup come naturally to someone like you. But I also want people who haven't read this thread to be able to simply...

    Pie in the sky idea: You type out your cube decklist, and it shows you card images of all your cards in the same order you typed them. No columns or formatting or anything, just as many card images as will fit into the width of your screen, and then it wraps and continues. Better or worse than...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Yeah, props on you guys making the two hour (!!) journey through flooded streets and chaotic traffic intersections in a blacked out city to come up and play some Magic. I mean, in fairness, you guys left before the storm hit, so you were past the point of no return. Magic or bust. It was kind of...

    Ok, cool! Yeah, I hadn't even considered that since cube lists are singleton, they're going to sprawl off the screen a lot more than a Constructed decklist would. Now that I've posted some sample cube decklists in the 3-0 thread, I.. kinda don't like how they're still effectively worse than...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Don't feel bad for aggro. I think I know what's happening. Your playgroup has a strong preference - if I could call it that - for midrange. Lots of bodies at all points along the curve, tons of synergies, planewalkers of all stripes; the good stuff. Naturally, midrange beats up on aggro, while...

    Sets Seacoast Drake is the Best Card in M14

    When I read FSR's original post, I had that really strong "Not sure if trolling" feeling. Is this guy for serious? Turns out you are. I've really enjoyed your well-reasoned, thoughtful posts, and I'm struck by your enthusiasm for a two mana defensive french vanilla creature. It's probably never...

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    I dunno. U/W is the colour combination that most often wants a mana rock, and one that can produce colours at that. Blue and white both have pretty versatile options for removal, but only so many choices when it comes to getting ahead on mana. I purposely don't run signets in my own cube, and...

    Card/Deck [SCD] Opposition

    Huh. Is this true? I wasn't playing during Ravnica-era, so this card never even popped up on my radar whenever I thought about Selesnya cards. Do you need a lot of token support for it to be good? Now I really wanna try it out.
